Tangle Teezer

So we've had a bit of trouble with Nati's hair recently. For one we couldn't get the tangles out and that was horrible in itself. He would cry every time he saw the comb. We have great products that make his hair soft and keep the oil in it, etc. Still NOTHING we tried worked well for tangles- even the detangler we bought in every brand imaginable. I got some great product advice but it wasn't until one of my blogging friends (her blog is private or I would post it) recommended the "Tangle Teezer". I LOVE it. I couldn't find them sold in the US so I bought mine from the web site. I have also been told you can buy them on Ebay but I think they are cheaper from the actual "Tangle Teezer" site. Anyway it took a little while to arrive but we had NO crying and we were able to brush through his hair with no problem. The brush is amazing. I was so impressed by it I had to try it out on my hair to see if it really pulled or not. I have long hair and always feel like my brushes pull so I tried it out... and now I want one for myself! I could not feel it as it took out the tangles. I was skeptical at first b/c all the video's I could find on the product showed them using it on people with straight/wavy hair. But it works great for all hair types. So if you are like us and having problems- I recommend this brush! Plus, they come in a ton of colors! We bought the Pearl Blue Tangle Teezer!

Now if we could just figure out how to get the tiny fuzzies out of his hair-- that he gets from when he sleeps in his crib-- we'd be set. The brush doesn't get them out b/c they are so small and move through the bristles as easily as the hair itself does. They don't tangle it they just stick to his hair. So if anyone has ideas for the fuzz- please share!

Both my girls get the fuzzies, too. Actually I don't know an ET kid who doesn't! Do you have him sleep on satin? If not, try that. It'll help. It won't prevent them, but it will cut down on them.

Hello! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Your son is adorable and congrats on the next one on the way!!!

Yea, we had to wait for some time but that is just how Guatemalan adoptions worked. WE even got to meet her, had to leave her and then had to wait 4 months until we could go back again. Funny though...now that she has been home for 2 years I hardly even think about my pain through all of that. I jsut wish she hadn't had to sit in an orphanage for that time.

I look forward to following you!

I'm so glad the comb is working so well for you. I wish you could get them in the U.S.!
